Northern Wales Attractions

North Wales is blessed with a glorious combination of cultural
and natural attractions, which lure active nature lovers and
culture vultures alike. The most popular attraction is Mount
Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales and the jewel in the crown
of the Snowdonia National Park. Made famous by many poets and
artists, hiking Mount Snowdon is the highlight of a trip to the UK
for many active travellers.

The historic towns of Caernarfon, Beaumaris, Conwy and Harlech
all offer worthwhile sightseeing opportunities, and the Edwardian
castles and fortifications of these old towns have collectively
been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The north of Wales
also offers seaside charm, with Llandudno and Holyhead attracting
many visitors. Llandudno boasts a wonderful promenade and some
glorious coastal walking trails.

A glorious way to experience some of the Welsh countryside is to
take a trip on the Ffestiniog Railway, said to be the oldest
operational railway in the world, which runs from the harbour at
Porthmadog to the old village of Blaenau Ffestiniog, traversing
some beautiful landscapes. A regional rail pass for northern Wales
is a good option for travellers as the area is lovely to explore by
rail.
